tier-ranking bad celebrity poetry (bella thorne i want my money back)

I think it's an interesting concept and of course we shouldn't take everything completely literally but this is just silly --y'know, an existential crisis on day one on this earth is kind of ridiculous when you probably couldn't even do up your own rain jacket until you were six, and I just think that style of 'fake deep poetry' really detracts from the other poems in this collection which are actually quite good.

This is a very raw collection of poetry, but kind of in the same way that uncooked chicken is raw... because it's terrible.

This collection, Swimming Lessons, is essentially iPhone notes poetry published in a book. It's like a book of Rupi Kaur drafts that Rupi Kaur wouldn't have used, and it is ridiculously repetitive -- every single poem is addressed to "you" and it is just the basic [ __ ] of poetry collections.

The poetry in this collection is really, really underwhelming. It's so simplistic and really cliche.

But, that aside, this is just... crap. For example, we have this little delight which goes: 'Life is a big dump, just flush it.'

This is just phenomenal. It's all about being messy and young and chaotic and intoxicated -- and I could relate on a spiritual level.

I thought this was good. The only criticism I have is that at the back there are these haikus which are just rubbish, and also this is kind of marketed as a poetry and photography collection but the photography looks like it was taken with a potato.
